My bar is usually this.
Healing: 14, Divine: 12, Prot: 7

Shield of Absorption, Dwayna's Kiss, Seed of Life, Etheral Light, Heal Party, Glyph of Lesser Energy, Healer's Boon, Rebirth/Resurrection Chant

A well-placed Shield of Absorption can reduce damage much better than Healing Seed or others can heal and doesn't require much points in protection. Plus, Shield of Absorption plus Seed of Life pumps up Dwayna's Kiss to be more effective at saving the target.

While I totally agree SoA is way better then Healing Seed there is one problem and that is general stupidity of ursan PUG-players with combination of AoE hexes like SS. FoW is a prime example of that. You get SS thrown all around most of the time. While SoA will protect 1 UB for a while it wont stop him from killing his teammates really fast. Seed on the other hand gives a bit more time for the monk to remove the hexes from them before they start pinging they are dead. But if they would know how to play, SoA is a god-send.

One thing I've seen is that most monks carry res skill. I don't see much point in that. Just use a scroll and put something of use in there. Another hex removal or a prot skill is always a good addition.

edit: I can't type.

I wouldn't really use DKiss on Ursun instead I would use Patient Spirit.This would be on healers boon.

Well, I've come to the conclusion of using Patient Spirit And Dwayna's Kiss and I might consider replacing my Resurrection skill with a Hex removal skill.

And has anyone ever noticed that Patient Spirit casts (almost) instantly with HB + Essence of Celerity (or something else with halves casting time)?

In Ursan group you don't really need more than HB, Patient, Heal Party and Seed and you are good to go :P
And i don't see any reason to not take Dwayna, even if there aren't many hexes you'll have some enchants from you and the other monk to increase its healing to nice numbers.

And the healing from it is really nice at 15 healing (major + head) with HB ^^
